Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus Implementation in HP ProLiant Servers

Overview The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus found in PC, workstation, and server products has evolved over time to keep pace with advances in microprocessor and networking technology. This paper explains how the evolution of the PCI specification from PCI to PCI-X has affected compatibility of existing PCI adapters and PCI slots. This paper also explains why customers migrating to the latest generation of HP ProLiant servers may find it cost effective to update some legacy I/O adapters.
